  1. Section 3.2 Stoichiometry and Compound Formulas

  2. In this section… • Element composition • Percent composition from formulas • Determining empirical formulas • Determining molecular formulas • Hydrated compounds Compound Stoichiometry

  3. You have a sample of a compound with known mass. What are the amounts of each element present? Element Composition:

  4. You have 2.50-mol sample of CH3CO2H. What are the amounts of each element present? Element Composition:

  5. A compound is formed from two or more elements in a set ratio of atoms. The ratio of atoms gives the chemical formula. The ratio of masses of those atoms gives the percent composition. Percent Composition:

  6. Determining Percent Composition:

  7. formula %composition *** If given just the formula, assume you have 1 mol of the compound What is the percent composition of each element in N2O5? Determining Percent Composition:

  8. %composition formula *** If given just the percent compositions, assume you have 100 g of the compound Determining Empirical Formulas from Percent Composition: • Process: • for each element, mass present = % comp in g • convert g to mol for each element • compare mol of each element to get formula

  9. Use these % composition values to determine the empirical formula: Determining Empirical Formulas from Percent Composition:

  10. Some useful fraction-to-formula ratios: 1.2 1 + 1/5 6/5 A5B6 1.25 1 + ¼ 5/4 A4B5 1.33 1 + 1/3 4/3 A3B4 1.4 1 + 2/5 7/5 A5B7 1.5 1 + ½ 3/2 A2B3 1.6 1 + 3/5 8/5 A5B8 1.67 1 + 2/3 5/3 A3B5 1.75 1 + ¾ 7/4 A4B7 1.8 1 + 4/5 9/5 A5B9 Determining Empirical Formulas from Percent Composition:

  11. Empirical vs. Molecular Formulas Empirical Formula: Molecular Formula: If you know the empirical formula, how do you find the molecular formula? answer: molar masses of the two Example: Molar mass of empirical formula (CH2) = 14.03 g/mol Molar mass of compound measured by experiment to be 56.11. Molecular Formula =

  12. %composition empirical formula molecular formula molar mass Determining Molecular Formulas from Percent Composition and Molar mass • Process: • for each element, mass present = % comp in g • convert g to mol for each element • compare mol of each element to • get empirical formula • compare empirical formula molar mass to • compound molar mass

  13. Determining Molecular Formula A compound has molar mass of 110.11 g/mol and contains: 65.45% C 5.493% H 29.06% O Empirical Formula = Empirical Formula (C3H3O)molar mass = 55.06 g/mol Molecular formula =

  14. Hydrated Compounds

  15. Hydrated Compounds How do you determine the number of waters of hydration? Answer: heat off the water and see how much mass decreases mass loss = mass H2O moles H2O = # of waters of final mass = mass anhydrous compound moles hydration anhydrous compound
